Summary
Truckee Meadows Community College (TMCC) has partnered with the Northern Nevada Apprenticeship Coordinator’s Association (NNACA) to offer apprenticeship programs that provide a pathway to both a journeyman’s card and an associate’s degree. This initiative is designed for individuals seeking a well-paying career without the burden of high tuition fees, emphasizing hands-on work and skill development.

It highlights the potential for partnerships between educational institutions and industry leaders to enhance job readiness and economic mobility for apprentices.
